The Twitter account @whale_alerts had recently posted a tweet stating that over $500 thousand dollars had been transferred from Binance to an unknown wallet. This is a pretty big transaction that had people wondering where the crypto might have been heading toward.
However CZ, the founder and CEO of Binance, had recently stated that this transaction was a donation presented to the Binance Charity with the following tweet;
This is a donation from @cryptocom to @BinanceBCF, no strings attached. Many thanks to @Kris_HK @bobbybaocrypto for the generous donation!
More follow up tweets/posts to come, about these good hearted people!
I wish @whale_alert could add Binance Charity addresses. 🙏 https://t.co/ORMbjGv1YL

CZ had also mentioned that he wishes that Whale_Alerts would add Binance Charity wallets to its database to avoid the confusion again.

What Is Binance Charity?
Binance’s charity, known as Binance Blockchain Charity Fund (BCF), aims to improve the lives of the “bottom billion” population through the power of blockchain technologies. Their goals revolve around accelerating global sustainable development which includes; no poverty, zero hunger, clean water and sanitation, and quality education.
They also wish to increase the transparency related to philanthropic donations. For this reason, Binance BCF has made it possible to track each donation up to the level of which school the donation reaches, like a blockchain explorer.
Sure. Now, you can track it on the blockchain, all the way to the 10 schools and kids. https://t.co/A5sUs0LD9O provides an easier view of the transactions (kind of like an explorer). Welcome to the age of transparency, baby!

The charity has already raised over 485 Bitcoin, equaling around $2.5 million, through 317 donors that have reached over 3688 end beneficiaries. Perhaps one of the most eye-opening facts about the benefits of Binance’s charity was at CZ’s Deconomy keynote where he had stated that each BNB donated allows for the funding of 66 days of school for a child, a marvelous feat!
Crypto.com Joins The Top 25 Project
Crypto.com has recently surged into the 23rd position in the market cap rankings as it presently now holds a $390 million market cap value. The cryptocurrency had seen an impressive 33% price increase over the past 24 hours, partly due to the exposure received from their donation. Furthermore, the cryptocurrency has seen a 134% price increase over the past 30 days and an even more impressive 366% price surge over the past 90 trading days.
